Hey y'all. I'm new here and found this, seemingly fantastic, forums by browsing through some google "tuning ford focus" links. Now I'm pretty noobish and more of an amateur so yeah, don't take the following stuff too "veteran-ish" serious, if that makes any sense.
Basically I'm about to inherit my mom's LX which is in top shape. It was always super-well taken care of and still works like a charm, with barely 90k kms. I've taken the decision to stay with that car instead of buying a new one, because frankly I would lose more money in doing so, and wouldn't be sure about the outcome. So as an 18 year old jerk-off, I obviously want my Focus to look fancy.
I've looked around for parts and such (I'm probably going to start off with lights, then body kit and spoiler, exhaust) but the only real large range of stuff I came across is on ebay, and most of it in the US. Now that's a big problem because I don't want my front bumper to cost twice as much because of taxes, especially since Switzerland likes to double on taxes compared to other European countries.
I've looked through this aswell http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35549 but to be honest, the links seem outdated and the websites are messed up and really.. old. Perhaps I'm a perfectionist but I can't seem to stumble across something sensible. So I thought I'd post here and ask you guys if you know any good dealers around, or online shop, not too far away, who have a pretty large range of stuff. Or do you usually visit your local garage or something and get him to get the parts? I could do that too since I've an uncle who owns a garage, not sure it's not going to cost me more though.
Your help is highly appreciated!
TL;DR: can't seem to find any sensible website listing a good variety of MK1 LX/RS tuning parts?
